Kingsbury indicates he’ll be joining Sumlin in Aggieland

Houston co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Kliff Kingsbury indicated after the game that he will be heading to Texas A&M to join Kevin Sumlin’s staff on Tuesday. Kingsbury, 32, just completed his second season as a full-time assistant coach for the Cougars after spending 2008-09 on the UH staff as an offensive quality control assistant.

Kingsbury said that he thinks the world of coach Tony Levine, Mack Rhoades, the staff and players at UH but the opportunity to work with coach Kevin Sumlin again was something he wanted to do.

“If it was anybody else other than coach Sumlin, I don’t know if I’d be doing it,” Kingsbury said. “But I have such faith in him and know what he brings to the table as a head coach and I think the sky is the limit for him.”

Kingsbury also said that if he was going to leave UH, this was the time to do it with quarterbacks Case Keenum and Cotton Turner moving on.
